There's an issue nobody's talking about in "Logan," the latest movie in the X-Men franchise. One that distracts from Hugh Jackman's gritty, Eastwood-ian performance, and the action scenes so intense you want to look away but can't.

No, not the fact that the young girl in Wolverine's care, Laura, has an adamantium-coated skeleton, which could potentially stunt her growth and/or kill her, since that's the one thing her rapid-healing body can't overcome.

Or that even if it doesn't inhibit her skeletal growth, she'll eventually outgrow those claws they installed, meaning they'll be nubbins by the time she reaches adulthood.

It's the bottle that's displayed so close-up it practically deserves its own credit in the movie, shown nearly empty next to the TV in the shack Logan and fellow mutant, Caliban, share. It's that wily beast, Fireball.

It seems innocuous at first, until you consider your surroundings. Then the fourth wall is broken and it takes at least two head-severing fight scenes to snap back into the movie, because all that's running through your mind is: Do you really expect me to believe Wolverine drinks Fireball?!

Think about it: Logan doesn't do trendy. He's not the guy at the bar doing picklebacks. He's not the superhero who wears Spandex. He's known for smoking cigars, rocking mutton chops better than Abe (yes, I'm going there) Lincoln, and giving the world the claw.

And, in Logan, he's so riddled with guilt and pain from the decades of loss he's endured — not to mention the agony of being slowly poisoned by the adamantium that runs through his body (staahp, I warned you twice about spoilers!) — that he's planning on killing himself. This is not the carefree, let's-party-bruh M.O. of a Fireball drinker. It just doesn't fit the character, so why is it there?!

The very obvious answer: Product placement. You've got to pay for all those claws-going-through-a-man's-skull-in-slo-mo moments somehow, of course.

But, deep in my naive, overly optimistic heart, I felt there had to be a reason they'd justify accepting a fat check (if it was a classic case of product placement) to include it. After excruciating minutes of torment and at least half a dozen fruitless Google searches, I polled my colleagues.

Fair, but that suggests he bought it, or like those cigars at the convenience store, stole it. So he had options and chose Fireball, which doesn't fit either.

"Or it was left over from a terrible party he drove around in his limo — remember the 'U-S-A! U-S-A!' guys?" Ramsey countered.

Touché. Finally, a plausible answer. A broken man battling an alcohol addiction could very well grab any leftover bottles from the rides he chauffeurs. He's not the type to worry about a little backwash. (That dredges up an entirely different quandary — whether Wolverine could get drunk, given how quickly his body repairs itself — but I'll leave that to reddit to suss out.)

I'm welcome to hearing any competing theories too. After all, there is no better way to spend an afternoon than debate the minutia of a 5-second scene in a movie, right? Right?!
